Snowshoeing it on this trail felt like a sauna compared to the Mill's Lake hike we took the day before. I thought I was going to freeze my bum off there -40 degrees or so. Down saved my Southern Californian butt on this trip.....for sure!

This was supposed to be a snowshoe, but the crappy, snow-less winter we're experiencing this year meant we carried our snowshoes the whole way while hiking on packed trail.

The views from the summit are just out of this world. I was pleased with this pleasant little hike. Hacking my way up with bronchitis, however, was not pleasant. My thanks go to my many hiking partners who tolerated my coughing fits. Partners: Ed's CMC hike.

Hiked this the morning before a Chapin-Chiquita-Ypsilon trifecta.
This was as relaxing and enjoyable as a summit hike could be.
About an hour and a half to get the the top, great views of the Mummy Range as well as Longs peak. We hiked this one on a Saturday and were the first in the parking area at 6am.
FYI- Since horses are welcome on this trail you'll be dodging a fair amount of poo.
